Abstract
From cave drawings and from records preserved on clay tablets, the history of man's use of textiles can be traced back to well before the birth of Christ. Obviously the quantities per head of population required for clothing and other purposes were then minute compared with those of today, and their production and processing was unlikely to have caused any ecological problems. When considering that over the last thousand years alone the world's population has increased more than tenfold, and in that time, the demand for clothing has grown out of all proportion, it can be seen that the process is bound to have left its mark.
